Graham and I are back! And we are talking about some Homicide episodes that are kind of committed to weird 90s things, specifically poetic interludes with Edgar Allan Poe and "straight guys having to find out what gay people do and they're soooo uncomfortable!" Let's say its a mixed bag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liv and Trev link up to talk about the engaging and encompassing Blue Prince! What does today's MYST have to say?

We welcome Charles Star of ALAB and City Saint Country Saint fame to discuss the most recent lashing of Apple in court, in their continuing battle against Epic Games.

Really phenomenal stuff, and a lot of discussion to boot! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liv and Trev talk about the very weirdly designed and produced 1990s film Double Dragon! Is it DOOM? Is it Super Mario Bros? Neither, but both? It has short haired Alyssa Milano though so let's see how far that gets us!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
